persons who have just been convicted of
plotting against the Car is student named
Oulianof, son of high Russian official
During his trial he displayed the highest in
telligence, and maintained most dignified
bearing. Entering into minute scientific
dispute with Feodorof, the renowned
chemist, he compelled the latter to acknowl-
edge that the prisoner was in the right and
he himself in the wrong. At the final sit
ting Oulianof made brilliant speech. He
declared that neither he nor his companions
feared death. He could imagine nothing
more sublime than to die in All endeavor to
deliver the unfortunate Russian people.
Hundreds OF young men would initiate him
until the Car would be compelled to change
his despotic system. The prisoners, with

manly, and OF good families. One said that
he had intended to murder the Car with a
revolver, but afterward thought that bombs

difficult matter to mistake him. He is

is never so happy as when perched ON
the top of chimney at some dizzy

never becomes afraid, probably he does
not dare to. His is trade hard to mas
